APPENDIX B. COMMON FLASH INTERFACE (CFI)
The Common Flash Interface is a JEDEC ap-
proved, standardized data structure that can be
read from the Flash memory device. It allows a
system software to query the device to determine
various electrical and timing parameters, density
information and functions supported by the mem-
ory. The system can interface easily with the de-
vice, enabling the software to upgrade itself when
necessary.
When the CFI Query Command (RCFI) is issued
the device enters CFI Query mode and the data

Note: Query data are always presented on the lowest order data outputs.
Table 26. CFI Query Identification String
Note: Query data are always presented on the lowest order data outputs (DQ7-DQ0) only. DQ8-DQ15 are ‘0’.
